Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD PS3/PSV

[Kirin]

I can see a game (if written properly) in where Sin comes back but is not the main threat. Like mentioned, someone wished him back (some Zanarkand fayth angry that their dream city has ended?) just like the fayth granted Yuna a wish for all of her help and sacrifice. How far would a group of strong vengeful fayth go to return a Zanarkand to the current time? What if they were operating beyond present time?

It would need to be dealt with a little more tact than FFXIII-2's "oops, time is messed up lets fix it" idea, but how neat would it be to delve into the Machina War between Bevelle and Zanarkand to get to the bottom of who these angered fayth or unsent are or why they want Zanarkand/Sin back so badly?

Please no more time travel in FF. Ever.
I'm actually pretty angry they are playing this whole "sin is back" card... Should've let the FFX/X-2 story die where it did. Tidus coming back never made sense in the first place anyways, seemed to just be there for fan service.

I don't know, Time Travel is fine honestly, the only problem is when they start throwing in too many possible endings.. That only worked for the Chrono series. X/X-2 story I can see continuing fine though, the only issue I see is how would it PLAY...as that seems to be what trips up SE the most these days.

[Alkar]

The gameplay is the only thing I'm not even concerned about.

Been slow on this for a number of reasons, but finally got to the point where I gotta start maxing out the sphere grid. I'm using the expert grid. For Penance/Nemesis, do I need to do the whole clear/reapply sphere node process for all stats that aren't 4, or can I get away with just filling in the blank ones with luck nodes or whatever? Don't really care about full maxed stats but I do want to platinum this sumbitch.

While I'd love to see a new FF game utilizing X-2's combat system and maybe a little bit of X's progression system, I don't want it to be X-3. Don't fuck up another one, SE.

So I think I broke Last Mission. Lvl. 44 Dark Knight w/ 700 hp getting hit for like 3 dmg with Auto-Refresh, 600 HP heals, and Triple Strength.

It is actually kind of fun though. I wish they had fleshed it out and added a lot more content than just one tower climb.

Edit: Just finished Last Mission/Platinum Trophy FFX-2.

I can see why there are not more games released in that format stateside, but if Square is serious about pushing mobile phone games with the FF brand, that to me seems like the format to do it in. Was actually fun and interesting because it was different.

Last Mission to me actually dealt more with fleshing out Paine, which was welcomed. All three girls become "narrator" and speak to Tidus/The Camera at different points, but Paine's comments and reasons for the tower climb added a lot to her character. She makes a lot more sense now, and that was always one of the weakest parts of X-2 with her just kind of "being there" for plot convenience.

The montage after Last Mission, I don't know if it is unlocked by platinum-ing both X/X-2 or just there to serve as a wrap up for the HD remake...but it tugged at the heartstrings all over again. Don't know if that was in the original International version of X-2, but it was a great touch and really did make everything come full circle.

Gonna backtrack on previous comments here a little. I'd love to revist Spira again, but after finishing Last Mission Tidus and Yuna's story feels like it has been told. Well worth the time spent playing through both games again. True classics.

Game is on sale for 30$ on PSN for both PS3/Vita till friday. Ehh i'll wait for the 20$ drop, also I want to see how PS Now works.

Are there any decent guides to doing the endgame stuff/grinding/farming in FFX? I feel like I'm running around like a headless chicken trying to do stuff, but it'd be a lot better if I actually knew what I was aiming for overall. (international version obviously... I accidentally ran into a few dark aeons and got owned already, so..)

[KuroTsuki]

Not sure about the most efficient way, but with this being my first time maxing stats and fighting Penance, I started with capturing all monsters. Then I used a few of the items I get from that to put hp30% on to tetra armor to make money and start bribing that mob from Omega Ruins(capture one and then do it from the monster arena) to make auto-haste armor. Now I'm working on maxing strength.

[Nephlite]

Most of the old stuff on GameFAQ's apply for the new HD version (international version applies obviously). I used this one when stat grinding and endgame:

http://www.gamefaqs.com/ps2/197344-f...y-x/faqs/46942

It's comprehensive and touches on both the Expert and Standard Sphere Grids and has portions for Clear Sphere routes along with non-Clear Sphere routes.

[Serra]

Just generally, assuming you're at the point where you can beat Jecht, what you want to do is:
1 Beat Seymour the last time, gaining access to the final area inside Sin
2 Capture 10 of each monster in every area
3 Get every ultimate weapon, unlock everything (assuming you're going for Platinum, but you don't need Lulu's if not)
4 Farm 3 slot Triple AP weapons off One Eye for everyone. In the last two slots, add Triple Overdrive and Overdrive -> AP to those weapons for every character (requires bribing for some items)
5 Get 4 slot armor for every character, for the ones you'll be using, prioritize giving them Auto Haste, Auto Phoenix, Auto Protect
6 Start the process of maxing stats (I think the numbers needed and recommended order have been posted earlier in the thread and they're available elsewhere)
7 Go fight everything you want now

[Exoduso]

Thanks guys, looks like I'm off to farm monsters... I already have half the ultimate weapons, Lulu's included, but I'll finish the monster farming and then go back.

As for beating Jecht, I don't know if I'm ready yet or not, because Seymour was pretty damn challenging inside Sin and I needed to use the Magus Sisters to take him out because he was destroying me with his x4 -ga spells. So I guess I have a while to go.

[Serra]

Well, the only reason I mentioned that was because there are 1 or 2 monsters you need past where you fight Seymour. That said, by the time you catch 10 from every area, your levels should be fine.

[Gokulo]

Of course I had to miss some silly thing and ended with 99% on my first X-2 completion :/

[AndreiSal]

Just got a Vita so this game is definitely gonna be in my sights. I like the fact that the Vita version only has X-2 as a downloadable extra. I can arrogantly continue to pretend it doesn't exist

Why would you pretend one of the best Final Fantasy games doesn't exist?

[Tyrath]

Because like omg its so girly and shit.

Never mind the fact that it has one of the best battle systems ever.

X-2 does have an awesome system but I'm not gonna fault a brother for not wanting to play "FINAL SUPER HAPPY FUN FANTASY DRESS-UP TIME X-2"
